SOUDERTON ó A Souderton man and a Clinton County woman are each facing more than a dozen felony charges after Souderton detectives said the pair stole more than $11,000 worth of power tools from a Souderton manís home on two separate occasions and later pawned the items.

Doran Snider, 20, of the 100 block of Main Street, and Rebecca Messa, 21, of the 900 block of Summer Mountain Road in Loganton, have each been charged with multiple counts of burglary, theft, conspiracy, receiving stolen property and criminal trespassing in connection with the alleged larceny.

Souderton police said that on May 2, a man called to report that he was called by the owner of a rental property in the borough ó later determined to be where Snider lives ó and told that a tenant in the building had seen a man hiding a chain saw, grinder, jigsaw and other tools in a stone pile behind the property. When the owner retrieved the items, he saw that the victimís name was on one of the tools and contacted him, police said.

The victim then checked his property on the 200 block of West Chestnut Street and discovered that his garage had been broken into through a window and that tools were missing, according to police.

Police said the victim called police the next day from a pawn shop in Lansdale, telling officers that he had seen several of his stolen items in the shop, including a reciprocating saw, a jig saw, a chain saw, drills and a charging unit. Pawn shop employees said that the items had been brought in on the afternoon of May 1 by Messa, who provided employees with her photo ID during the transaction, according to police, who said they were told that an unidentified man had accompanied her.

Meanwhile, police said, the victim met with the rental property owner on May 3 to retrieve the other stolen items that had been recovered from the stone pile, but after returning to his West Chestnut Street property, he discovered that his home had again been burglarized in the overnight hours and more tools, wire and extension cords were missing.

The victim later called officers to report that he had contacted a Quakertown pawn shop, and that he believed they had some of his stolen tools in their shop ó detectives went to that location on May 6 and recovered a reciprocating saw, a planer, a drill and a set of drill bits belonging to the man, and found that Snider had pawned those items on April 30, providing a photo ID during the transaction.

Snider and Messa were subsequently arrested and charged with burglarizing the victimís property twice between April 30 and May 3, and stealing a total of $11,366.54 worth of items.

At Sniderís preliminary arraignment on May 7, District Judge Kenneth Deatelhauser of Souderton set bail at $10,000 cash, and Snider was incarcerated at Montgomery County Correctional Facility until May 12, when he posted bond.

Messa was arraigned before Deatelhauser on May 8; her bail was set at 10 percent of $5,000 cash, and she, too, was committed to MCCF. On Monday, MCCF records indicated she was no longer behind bars.

Snider is due back in Deatelhauserís courtroom on May 21 for a preliminary hearing. Messa is scheduled to appear before Deatelhauser for her preliminary hearing on May 22.

Court records show that in 2013, Snider pleaded guilty in Bucks County court to misdemeanor charges of theft and receiving stolen property in connection with a 2012 arrest by Pennsylvania State Police, and was placed into the Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition (ARD) program, which he completed in February of this year.

Messa has no previous criminal history in Pennsylvania, court records show.
